[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 141455, member: 30"] Re: Infocomm??? The "problem" with cutting the box into smaller pieces is that each piece will be different. If you look at the SBH products you will see that each of the different lens are a physical different size-but mirrored about the center. So they HAVE to be assembled back together in the correct order for it to work. And you can't flip one upside down when assembling it, or the whole concept falls apart. The typical line array (constant curvature or not) is THE SAME box-just more of them. Each with the same pattern. If you look at the radiation pattern of a typical cabinet, you will see that it does radiate into the coverage pattern of the other boxes. THIS is the interference that we are talking about. And since the signals are arriving at different times, there will be combfiltering. This is the "lowering of sound quality" that Tom and I are talking about. Multiple arrivals at the same spot at different times causing notches in the response and a smearing of the sound. We have discussed with various "tour guys" about having boxes that when put together would form a larger box. But the "pushback" is that they don't want different boxes. They want to use the same model number so they can put them together anyway they want and don't have to worry about having the right boxes in the truck. And the end result is NOT the same. [/QUOTE]
